Rihanna In ‘Slutz’ Tank

I could look it up, but I’m guessing Slutz is some designer’s parody attempt to ‘take back’ the term colloquially used to degrade promiscuous women and turn it into a female ‘sex-positive’ statement. Like when girls started wearing Playboy logos. Or proudly took the term bitch and made it into a compliment on reality shows. I’ve never understood the idea of taking back traditionally denigrating terms. It’s mostly just led to rappers dropping the N-bomb seventeen times per single and every gay creative in Hollywood falling over themselves to use the word queer as much as humanly possible. Has this terminology game done anything to advance the cause of social tolerance and enlightenment? Nah. But I bet impressionable teen girls can soon buy those Slutz tees in stores for $65.
